Film Breakdown: Malik Washington Exceeded Rookie Season Expectations for the Miami Dolphins

[@scotty9776]

This was fun to watch. Big fan of Malik and I expect to continue to see great things from him

[@brandonfeng3742]

Really hope Tahj can stay healthy and rotate with Malik next season.

Malik is a gem for sure! If we do move off Tyreek I think Waddle will be able to step up and generate explosive plays. Malik, Jonnu, and Achane are all capable chain movers. What are your thoughts on Treylon Burks? I know I know injuries and he hasnt panned out, but if we miss in FA and early in the draft would you throw a day 3 pick at the Titans?

[@rydermcconville]

@@mikeyroy66 I would only do that if he didn’t have a the 1st round pick contract. If he came very cheap I’d throw a dart but I wasn’t a big Burks fan pre draft

[@mikeyroy66]

@rydermcconville That's fair. He would be expensive for what he is at this point from a money standpoint. Just thinking of ways we could get a bigger physical receiver without another big contract or a ton of draft capital. Also I wouldn't make that move unless we missed in FA and in the middle rounds of the draft.

Either trade for DK Metcalf or draft Jalen Royals

[@kaviousevans2457]

Metcalf & Draft 2 more WR's. I like Waddle but uh🫤..yeah. Malik Washington,Tahj Washington, Emeka Egbuka from Ohio State...that's a Nice WR's Room

Question for Ryder, considering they fired Welker, which I didn’t expect but not freaked out by it, and Malik basically the only Dolphins WR exceeding expectation, do you think it was mostly Malik being a heady, hungry WR/returner? I’m guessing it’s that but also improvement under Welker, and maybe he’s more coachable than the vets in the room. 🤷 Speaking of returners, I think he’s the best fins had since Jakeem Grant, who couldn’t catch passes to save his life but had the elite speed Malik lacks. And bit of a coincidence they were both 6 round picks. I’ll also mention Malik outperformed a bunch of receivers picked ahead of him, including picks by Jets & Patriots. 😉

@@yitwailu2 Honestly I have no idea. It’s always tough to evaluate positional coaches because we aren’t in the room. Sometimes it’s just the players and if I had to guess this was more of a Malik thing being hungry for why it worked

[@yitwailu2]

@@rydermcconvilleyeah. The dismissal of Crossman was overdue of course. Btw, I edited my post and added a comparison to Jakeem Grant. Malik’s a better player in everything except speed.

Ryder, while Malik Washington was not my pick, I do like, the strategy of drafting Malik Washington. Always look to see, who is falling in the draft. Malik was projected, late 4th, to 5th round pick. So good value in the 6th. Still, I would have picked either Christian Mahoganey, G, in the Sixth or Beaux Limmer, G/C instead of Malik Washington. Mahoganey was a projected 3rd to 4th round prospect, so taken in the 6th, could be a steal. Limmer, projected 5th to 6th round prospect, so the value is there. My point is, that Grier didn't reach with this. The ONLY pick, that Grier did reach with, was SS Patrick McMorris, who I seen was projected UDFA. I could not imagine what this Oline would have looked like, with both Mahoganey & Limmer, instead of Washington & McMorris? But we will never know. Fins Up!

He was more reliable than Hill & Waddle in Key moments. He definitely doomed us from jump vs Packers tho. Just sayn lol
